My squad & strategy:

1. LEGIONNAIRE ALVAR: I predected that my opponent will use Magic attack monsters, so I used the themed card as a tank for its Void Armor ability.
2. DJINN OSHANNUS: Sometimes I use it as a tank, but today I tried to make it hit from the back lines.
3. MERDAALI GUARDIAN: My permanent strategy is for the tank to be in good condition. I always use this monster because of the Tank Heal ability.
4. VENARI WAVESMITH: It will help by giving +2 Armor to my monsters and keep them safe.
5. ICE PIXIE: It will make some damages to opponent's tank, and it can avoid some Sneak attacks with its Flying ability.

My summoner: I used ALRIC STORMBRINGER to make my Magic attack monsters stronger. Magic is the most effective element.

Opponent's Squad:

1- SHIELDBEARER. 2- GARGOYA SCRAPPER. 3- XENITH ARCHER. 4- GOBLIN CHARIOT. 5- TIME MAGE. 6- PELACOR ARBALEST.
And his summoner is GENERAL SLOAN.

Point's of the battle:

I won this battle, and there are some reasons:

1. The opponent had a strong attack but it wasn't enough, because my monsters were able to withstand the hits.
2. With the exception of SHIELDBEARER, the opponent's monsters had low Health and this allowed my monsters to eliminate them easily.
3. It's true that the opponent's monsters have a powerful attack, but they don't have the Stealth abilities to hit my back lines. They were rendered useless when they couldn't eliminate my tank.
4. Ranged attack monsters couldn't hit when they were in the first position, and this caused the opponent to lose attack round after round, while my monsters hit the opponent's Health each round.

LEGIONNAIRE ALVAR:

In this battle, this monster did not have much effect, but it helped me in the first round and took hits instead of DJINN OSHANNUS, which I consider to be the main tank. This monster can be useful when it encounters a lot of Magic attack monsters and prevents them from hitting its Health directly, it can hold on for a longer time in battle if it recieved some support and allow the monsters in the back lines to hit the opponent. LEGIONNAIRE ALVAR is a powerful and important monster, it just needs to be used well.
